Tuberculosis



The disease is a big killer. The medicines used to cure this disease cost $20,000, which makes it quite hard to cure the disease. Two billion people have a chance to suffer this disease. Many of these people are people living in jails. This is because of the bad nutrition and treatment the prisoners are suffering. It has been said that by fixing the prisons, less money will be wasted than by treating the disease on all the people. Organizations are treating tuberculosis at Africa, Latin America, Caucasus, and at Central Asia.
Opinion:
I do believe something most be done about this. Not only on the prison situation, but, also with the bad nutrition and treatment some kids are suffering. Separate organizations should do this not only the government. The author believes that the best way to prevent tuberculosis is by fixing the treatment people get at jail.

Attacks at Nigeria


Some 200 christian villagers were assassinated. The murderers are believed to be Muslims by people who suffered the attack. About 78 million people from Nigeria are Muslims, this is about half of the population of Nigeria Other people believe this attack was made because of the different ethnicity and because of the natural resources. The government said it will try to capture the people who are guilty for this accident. Police have captured 98 people related with other Muslims attacks.
The author believes this destroyed a lot of Nigeria and that something should be done.
I believe you can't ignore this problem and that something huge should be done. I hope they capture the ones who are guilty for this. It is a horrible attack. The author believes that this was a horrible event.

Toyota Accident


A 29 year old man was driving with her pregnant wife, father, daughter, brother, and niece using the 1996 Toyota Camry. He was trying to make the car stop by pressing the break, but, instead, the car accelerated to about 70 to 90 miles per hours. This made him crash with the cars that were waiting beside the stop sign. He accidentally killed 5 people. Experts checked the car and nothing was wrong with the breaks. Koua Fong Lee, the man who caused the accident claims he is innocent. Many people believe him since he wouldn't try to kill his family. After this accident, many similar accidents with Toyota cars have been reported. People are trying to sue Toyota and many victims of the crash are starting to believe Koua is innocent.
Opinion
I don't think Koua did it on porpouse, but, I do believe he is guilty. He probably stepped on the acceleration instead of the car. I believe the athour doesn't believe Koua was guilty.
